one month.

My dear darling Emelyn,

Today you are one month old and your mama just cannot believe it. You're starting to outgrow diapers and clothes. You're awake most of the day now, napping shortly but starting to sleep longer through the night. You love to grab daddy's shirt when you're laying on his chest. Bath time is your favorite time of the day, you love to be held while you sleep, and I think I caught you smiling at me today..!

Right now you and I are cuddling in the backseat of daddy's car, waiting for him to get off work. It's silent except for the far off traffic and your tiny snoring. Every once in a while, you smile in your sleep, a smile as big as it gets. I always want to see that smile. I can't wait until you wake up and smile because I'm next to you, or you're smiling because of the Christmas lights on the tree, or when you're eating your first birthday cake..

Everything is going to come so fast and I'm so excited. I know one day I'm going to look at you and wonder where my little baby went, so in the meantime I will take as many photos as I can and live in every moment. I'm beyond happy that I get to be a part of your amazing little life.

Xoxo,
Mama bird
